#1 Yes, they are part of the Traitors Within Our Walls (see Opinion), just like the French Republic 80 years ago.

#2 Hard to manipulate someone that is throwing their complete support behind you, isn't it?

#4 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The mediots don't care about Hezbollah or al-Qaeda or Hamas. After all, they share a common goal in wanting to do away with President Bush. NOTHING else matters.

Now, the JonBenet Ramsey thing? Hoo-boy! They're spitting nails over that one. "Conspiracy to perpetuate a media frenzy" was how one outraged mediot claimed that Carr feller should be charged.

He--along with the Boulder DA--are guilty of the one unpardonable sin in Big Media's collective eye: wasting their precious time.

#5 Sorry but the MSM isn't being 'manipulated' - they are knowing and willing partners and allies of the terrorist organizations.

They are willing (and knowing) participants on the other side.

#7 For the very simple reason that Big Media really doesn't see any stake of their own in the conflict. It either hurts Bush, or it helps him. And if it hurts, they don't care what else might happen.

#8 Terrorist Groups 'Actively Manipulating' U.S. Media

Rumsfeld is being far too generous. The headline should read:

US Media Actively Cooperating with Terrorists

Hard to manipulate someone that is throwing their complete support behind you, isn't it?

Almost, but not quite, DV. It's even more icing on the cake if you get to call their shots, too.

#9 Downer accuses media of Lebanon hoax

Downer is my favourite Australian polly.

#10 Great article, phil_b, especially if you follow the trail of ~~breadcrumbs~~ links. This is slander against Israel writ large and damn the media to hell if they do not provide intensive coverage of the backwash on this monumental LIE.

Crap like this is what will eventually relegate mainstream media to all the journalistic credibility of the National Enquirer.

#11 I think this is the story Zenster refers to.

It is indeed a great story and it's telling that the MSM is ignoring it or turning it into a story about MSM versus blogger credibility, which in their Arrogance and ignorance they think they will win (the debate).

#12 Thank you, phil_b, you are absolutely right. Just a momentarily review of the page leaves me outraged all over again. (Big surprise)
